(1,650 posts)The Occupy movement reminds me of the Sons Of Liberty, the original, true, Sons of Liberty the ones that were made up of mostly middle and lower class. The Sons Of Liberty were not well liked at the time. Although I am not good with twitter, I keep checking to see how they are doing and hope they continue to grow stronger. I am sure there are some Tea Party people that share a lot of ideas with the Occupy movement but the Tea Party was hijacked and now they just follow their assigned leaders, which are tied the corporate money. I get excited when I see a minister that marched with Martin Luther King now supporting Occupy, not leading, just participating as Occupy can not have assigned leaders knowing the 1% will destroy them once they have a set of leaders. The 1% can only try to discredit the group by saying they are lazy or need a bath. It's much like punching into the misty air, as there is nothing solid to connect to, every time the 1% strikes the mist just moves and more appears. I am part of the 99% and although I may not have what it takes to stand with Occupy, I fully support and admire them. Once again, I congratulate the Occupy movement, they earned the honor.
